Eligibility—The cabin camping trip is open to those with a brain injury and their family and friends. Participants must be able to independently, or with the help of a caregiver, attend to all personal needs.We require bringing a friend or family member, both for companionship and to assist with executive functioning, if needed, overnight and with operating the wood stove in the cabins.

Cabins—Cabin check in time is 2-6 p.m. on Wednesday. Check-out time is 10:30 a.m. on Friday. You are welcome to stay longer and explore on Friday, but we must check out of the cabin sites by 10:30 a.m.

Cabins are heated by woodstove ($5 per bundle of wood, available on site).Bringing firewood from outside the park is prohibited by law due to an effort to control invasive insects.

Cabins have electricity, furniture and beds.

Bring your own sheets, pillow, mattress pad and sleeping bag or comforter. We recommend bringing extra blankets as well. Mohawk State Forest is at a higher elevation, and is therefore likely to be 5 – 10 degrees cooler than where you live.
